Video Description

Watch this video to see America’s Best National Parks by Train! This is Episode One of Three! We spent two weeks traveling through the American West to visit three of the best National Parks in the United States. We covered more than 4,000 miles without getting on a plane or in a private car. Instead, we only used Amtrak and buses. Don’t miss this series to see this incredible experience for yourself! In this episode, we traveled from Chicago to Salt Lake City on Amtrak’s California Zephyr train. Then, we traveled on the Salt Lake Express bus to West Yellowstone, Montana to explore America’s First National Park: Yellowstone National Park! In the series we'll visit three National Parks so we can highlight how incredible Americas National Parks really are. But, the best part is that we'll visit these National Parks by Train! Which do you think are America's Best National Parks? And, can you make them Amtrak National Parks by reaching them by public transit? Well, join us for National Parks by Amtrak! 0:00 Introduction 1:36 Amtrak California Zephyr 4:59 24 Hours on Amtrak 12:23 Salt Lake Express Bus 17:48 West Yellowstone, Montana 20:07 Yellowstone National Park 22:32 Preview of Episode 2 Get a personalized video from me!
